Each issue carries an imprimatur from
the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reprinting prohibited
by Thomas A. Shannon
Over the last two decades scientific developments have been proceeding
at a rapid pace. Nowhere has this been more true than in human genetics. One cannot pick
up the daily paper or listen to a news show without hearing of yet another new discovery,
development or application of a new procedure.
There are two main problems with this steady stream of information: The
information itself is becoming more and more complex and the applications are predicted
to be revolutionary. Frequently the research is only at the very beginning stages. Much
of this research has an ethical dimension. In this Update we'll take a look at
the field of stem-cell research. We'll explain what stem cells are and why there are
ethical concerns.
Most Americans have had some sort of a biology course in high school; some
have had a college-level course; but few have had specific courses in molecular genetics
or bioengineering. Thus we may have some sort of general idea of the topic, but not grasp
the real core issues. Several ethical issues were raised with the recent near-completion
of the Human Genome Project (the project that identified and mapped the structure of
human DNA)privacy, potential disqualification for insurance, the possibility of
predicting some aspects of one's health at birth, to name just a few. The technology
goes forward, however, and often without sufficient breathing room to understand the
technology, much less consider its implications.
This happened again with the debate over embryonic stem-cell research.
Research on adult and embryonic stem cells of animals and humans has been going on for
several years, and a national bioethics commission made some recommendations about this
research. On August 9, 2001, President Bush announced his decision to allow the federal
government to provide funding for research on 64 lines of embryonic stem cells. These
lines came from destroyed human embryos obtained from in vitro fertilization clinics.
The president's decision caused an enormous debate in terms of both science and ethics.
Many commentators, religious leaders, scientists and members of the public weighed in
on various sides of the debate, and an advisory committee will now monitor the research.
But what is the debate about?
First, what are stem cells and why are they so important? Essentially,
stem cells are cells that have the potential to become many different kinds of cells.
They are the means by which cells in the body can be replenished. In the very early embryo
these cells are totipotentthat is, they have the potency to become any kind
of body cell. In adult stem cells, the cells are pluripotentthey have the
capacity to become a variety of cells, but not all. Scientists hope to obtain lines of
these embryonic stem cellslarge numbers of them grown from a common sourceand
coax them into becoming specific kinds of cells.
For example, a biologist at my college recently succeeded in having blood
cells from bone marrow grow into nerve cells. Other scientists have recently reported
success in having embryonic stem cells grow into three different types of blood cells.
The goal of this research is to use these stem cells to develop various tissues that
can then be used to repair damaged tissues in the bodyheart tissue to repair a
damaged heart, nerve tissue to repair a damaged spinal column or reverse the effects
of Alzheimer's disease. The research is very interesting, complex and promising.
Now let's look at a particular kind of ethical problem. Which stem cells
should be used for research, adult or embryonic? Many have argued that adult stem cells
are difficult to obtain, very hard to coax into developing into other tissues and, consequently,
their use would involve much more time and money to obtain the desired results. Up until
very recently, this was generally true.
But now research has shown that adult stem cells can be isolated and developed.
If this research continues to be successful, there may no reason whatsoever to use embryonic
stem cells, which requires destruction of early embryos and poses a serious ethical problem.
Many argue that adult stem cells are where the resources for stem-cell research should
be directed. Continued success in this area would essentially eliminate the need for
embryonic stem cellsand put an end to a major ethical problem.
But the problem is that the Bush proposaland indeed the desire of
many scientists and many in Congressis to use federal funds to support research
on stem cells extracted from already destroyed human embryos. Is this ethical?
There are actually two ethical questions here: First, is the destruction of the very
early embryo immoral? Second, if a vaccine or tissue is generated from these human embryonic
stem cells, would someone act unethically in using it?
Over the last few decades there has been a strong affirmation by the pope
and bishops that the human embryo is to be valued and, in effect, treated as a person
from the time of fertilization forward. It is not to be destroyed or seen as disposable
tissue that can be used in research as any other tissue might be. Nor should such embryos
be generated specifically for research purposes. This of course is possible, given the
technology of in vitro, "outside the body," fertilization. And in fact, one fertility
clinic in Virginia has reported that in fact that is exactly what it is doing.
What is the moral status of the early embryo? Pope John Paul II gave his
perspective on this debate in an address to President Bush on July 23, 2001, during his
papal visit. The pope rearticulated his position on the use of embryos by saying:
"Experience is already showing how a tragic coarsening of consciences accompanies the
assault on innocent human life in the womb, leading to accommodation and acquiescence
in the face of other related evils such as euthanasia, infanticide and, most recently,
proposals for the creation for research purposes of human embryos, destined to be destroyed
in the process." The pope also called for the United States to show the world that we
can be masters and not products of technology.
In a similar, though more specific response to the Bush stem-cell proposal,
Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza, then president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops,
said: "However, the trade-off [Bush] has announced is morally unacceptable: The federal
government, for the first time in history, will support research that relies on the destruction
of some defenseless human beings for the possible benefit to others. However such a decision
is hedged about with qualification, it allows our nation's research enterprise to cultivate
a disrespect for human life....The President's policy may therefore prove to be as unworkable
as it is morally wrong, ultimately serving only those whose goal is unlimited embryo
These claims are reflective of the traditional teaching recently restated,
for example, in the Instruction from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Donum
Vitae, that the "human being is to be respected and treated as a person from the
moment of conception and therefore from that same moment his rights as a person must
be recognized" (I, 1).
The Instruction is careful to note that the Church has not taken a philosophical
position on the time of ensoulment. However, "From the moment of conception, the life
of every human being is to be respected in an absolute way—" (Donum Vitae, Introduction).
While the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has left open the resolution
of the actual time of ensoulment, it has in fact insisted that the prudent response would
be to recognize that as a practical matter ensoulment is coincident with fertilization.
This position, combined with the traditional respect-for-life position of the Church,
is what propels its opposition to embryonic stem-cell research.
Some, while respecting this teaching of the Church, make further ethical
observations about the early embryo. First, fertilization is a process that takes about
24 hours to complete and therefore is not a specific moment one can point to. As a side
note, should a human be cloned, there would be no fertilization at all because the nucleus
of one cell is placed into another cell that has its nucleus removed and is stimulated
to begin cell division. The life of that individual would not begin at fertilization.
Second, the whole development of an embryo into a fetus and eventually
into a child is a process, not a series of sharply defined steps. This is important because
it is really difficult to tell precisely where a fetus is in the process of development.
One knows where the fetus is after the stage has been entered into. It is not easy to
make precise developmental statements and then moral judgments made in relation to them.
But more specifically, many ethicists focus on the fact that up until about
a week or so into the pregnancy, the fertilized egg has the capacity to divide and become
identical twins. In some cases it has been observed that such divided eggs blend back
together into one blastocyst (what the fertilized egg is called at around 4-5 days of
And if the egg is fertilized in vitro, one cell can be removed (to have
its genetic structure analyzed) and the developmental process is not harmed. In fact,
all the cells of the blastocyst can be separated and each has the capacity to become
a whole human being. This point is clearly important biologically: These cells can become
either a whole organism or be coaxed into becoming any specialized cell in the body.
But this is important philosophically also. Because the cells of the blastocyst
can be divided so that each part can become a whole, the blastocyst lacks true individualitythe
capacity not to be able to be divided.
If one were to divide me, you would wind up with two halves. If one divides
the cells of the blastocyst, one obtains several cells all capable of becoming individuals.
The reason why this is philosophically important is that if the organism is not first
an individual, it is difficult to understand how it could be a person. Being an individual
organism is a first necessary, though certainly not sufficient, stage for being a person.
On the basis of the argument that the blastocyst is not yet an individual,
some would argue that while the blastocyst is a living organism, possessing the human
genetic code, such an organism is indeed valuable, but its value is not yet that accorded
to a person.
Therefore some would conclude that killing the human blastocyst is not
murder because there is as yet no personal subject to experience that wrong. Such a killing
is a disvalue, to be sure, but a disvalue that might be offset by other positive values,
such as health. The conclusion that some would draw, then, is that at least a case can
be made for the use of human embryos in stem-cell research.
Once again, the Church does not endorse this view. The specific reason
for the rejection of this position is the affirmation that fertilization, the time when
egg and sperm merge and form a new genotype, is considered to be the biological beginning
of the new human life. Together with this affirmation is the correlative presumption
that this is the time of the infusion of the soul. Although there is no official doctrine
on this position, the attitude of the Church is that moral priority should be given to
this position.
The second problem is, could someone use a vaccine or tissues from such
research in an ethical way? The term for this problem in moral theology is called cooperation.
It can be either formal or material. Formal cooperation involves a person
directly intending to participate in the evil act of another. For example, a person would
be formally cooperating with a moral wrong if he or she obtained drugs and helped prepare
them so they can be used for euthanasia.
Cooperation may be material, not formal, if a person does not intend the
evil act but may be involved in some of its consequences. For example, a nurse who is
opposed to abortion but works in a hospital where abortions are occasionally performed
may still provide nursing care for the woman who came for abortion.
In the case of stem-cell research, this framework of degrees of cooperation
allows several responses to be proposed. First, the patient need not intend the destruction
of the embryos and thus any cooperation would not be formal. Thus, one could use the
vaccines without an ethical breach. Second, the moral distance between the use of the
vaccine by the patient and the original research is so great as to render any cooperation
remote at best.
Finally, for use of the research to be immoral, the act of destroying a
blastocyst must itself be immoral. If one follows the line of reasoning that the blastocyst
is not yet an individual and, therefore, not yet a person, its killing would certainly
be a disvalue but would not be a moral evil having the equivalence of murder. Thus individuals
would be able to use the clinical products that come from such research.
Such reasoning would be unacceptable to the teaching of, for example, Donum
Vitae or the encyclical letter of John Paul II Evangelium Vitae. The basis
for rejecting such procedures is the recognition of the human embryo's being accepted
as a full human person from the moment of conception and, therefore, having an intrinsic
dignity and value that cannot be compromised in the name of other values.
But there is another question that is, I think, equally as important as
the ethics of the use of human embryos in research. That question is a public policy
question: Should we continue with our policy of research into high-tech, expensive therapies
that may not be available to many citizens because they are uninsured, underinsured,
or because their insurance plans might not cover experimental treatments? The dominant
trend in American medicine is high-tech intervention to cure or try to maintain the status
quo of a patient. The implantation of a new model of an artificial heart is another example
of such high-tech intervention. Clearly many of these interventions do save lives. And
significant developments have been made in the treatment of many forms of cancer. But
some perceptions of the success of these interventions are inflated. One study showed
that on television shows the success rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is over 70%.
In real hospitals, however, the success rate is under 5%. This is not in itself a reason
not to do CPR, but perhaps we might question whether it is appropriate in the particular
circumstances of this patient.
The stem-cell debate might be an opportunity for us to ask if we should
not, as a nation, begin to focus on prevention rather than cure as our dominant health-care
Prevention will not prevent all diseases and will not help if there is
a trauma such as a car accident. But a strategy of prevention including services such
as care for pregnant women including proper diet information, well-baby exams including
vaccinations, and information on lifestyle issues such as diet, smoking and excess drinking
would go a long way to preventing the early onset of many diseases.
The resistance to removing or restricting the use of soda and candy machines
in elementary and secondary schools shows that we have a long way to go in even thinking
about the most elemental forms of prevention of disease.
Of course prevention is rather boring. It certainly would make for very
dull TV shows. Who would not rather watch the fast-paced, high-tech ER than a physician
instruct a person in a proper diet? Anyway, who wants to watch his or her diet all the
time? Who has time for exercise and all the other things we learn are good for us? Prevention
is a hard sell. But, in the long run, it is better to try to prevent heart disease than
repair a damaged heart. It is better to manage one's diet than take insulin continuously
or have a leg amputated because of circulation problems resulting from diabetes.
I am not arguing that we should abandon research or high-tech medicine.
I am arguing that we as a country seriously need a national debate on health care and
the kind of interventions that would be beneficial for all citizens, not just the wealthy.
Currently, it seems like much research on specific diseases is driven by
powerful lobbying groups who have celebrity spokespersons who sometimes have the disease
for which funding is sought. Parents whose children are afflicted with terrible diseases
bring their children to congressional hearing rooms. The implication is that if Congress
does not fund this particular legislation and a relative dies, it is the direct fault
of Congress. But we know that we cannot fund research for all diseases, and certainly
we cannot fund them equally. While all of us are sympathetic to the plight of the sick
and suffering, a genuine ethical question is, who get access to such congressional hearings?
One seldom sees the poor, the socially marginalized, the unemployed, the underinsured
moving about in these circles. How does health-care policy affect their lives, particularly
since they probably have no insurance to begin with?
What I am arguing here is that the stem-cell debate focuses our attention
on yet another critical and important technical development in the fight against disease.
Yet it also should make us question whether we as a country should channel all our resources
to this form of research, or should we also begin to devote resources to prevention.
Our health-care budget is limited; thus the question of the justice of how such resources
are allocated is a critical one.
In addressing all of the questions covered in this Update, it's
important to remember the Church does not wish merely to be a naysayer against development
and scientific progress. In fact, the Church is very positive and supportive about advances
in science that improve the quality of human life.
Most of the world knows that the Church works in many places, often in
areas of high poverty, seeking to help liberate the human family from disease. In evaluating
how to move ahead, whether it is in the laboratory or in society at large, always we
are to remember an underlying principle: to value the dignity of human life.

A mere 9.1 percent of American retailers sold tobacco to youth under the age of 18 in 2012, according to an annual survey by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
SAMHSA has published the Synar Report — named after the late public health advocate and former Democratic congressman Rep. Mike Synar (OK) — every year since 1997. The survey tracks each state's findings on the number of stores selling tobacco to minors by using a combination of random audits and undercover youth inspectors who test whether or not merchants are hewing to cigarette age restrictions. Stores' noncompliance rates have been plummeting ever since the states and SAMHSA started collecting data on their behavior, dropping by a staggering 77.25 percent over the last 15 years.

Some Churchs Ferry, ND, Residents Want Town Disbanded; Election to be HeldCHURCHS FERRY, ND (WDAZ-TV) - The rising Devils Lake might claim another town, but Ramsey County officials aren't ready to give up.
CHURCHS FERRY, ND (WDAZ-TV) - The rising Devils Lake might claim another town, but Ramsey County officials aren't ready to give up.
Churchs Ferry residents brought a petition to the Ramsey County Commission last month asking to disband the city.
But now a city-wide election will let residents decide whether the city should be dissolved.
County commissioners hope the lake won't win another battle.
The town just had its 125th birthday.
"It's a historic city. It has a lot of significance to a lot of people," county commissioner Mark Olson said.
But the city's population has been dwindling since floodwaters started invading the town. Some residents say it's time to give up.
"I've been there in the winter time, the roads are plowed, the lots are mowed, everything is taken care of," Olson said.
"I think we have to fight to keep everything we can," county commissioner Scott Diseth said. "The lake is putting people at odds against each other because it's hurting so many people in so many ways."
The Ramsey County Commission plans to get all of the Churchs Ferry residents to meet with a mediator to see if differences can be resolved.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Attorney: Judge's order breaks law
By Nathan Baker
An order made Wednesday by a Carter County Judge has been called illegal by a Johnson City attorney, who claims the action violates state public records laws.
The general order, dated Feb. 6 and signed by Carter County General Sessions Court Judge John W. Walton, instructs the Carter County Sheriff's Department to "release any paperwork pertaining to Carter County General Sessions court and Carter County Juvenile Court to Lori Pierce and no other individual."
It additionally names arrest warrants, summonses, violation of probation, petitions, capiases, and attachments as examples of the types of documents to be funneled through Pierce, the court bench clerk.
There was no reason for the order in the brief document, but Walton has previously pointed to paperwork and procedure mistakes in the Circuit Court Clerk's Office as the cause of false arrests and other court errors.
After a Biltmore man was wrongfully arrested last May, the judge said similar foul ups happen "more and more."
"It was a breakdown on work that should be done routinely," he told the STAR. "If they had pulled the paperwork, there wouldn't have been a problem like this."
Circuit Court Clerk John Paul Mathes said his office was no longer receiving the warrants and other paperwork that usually comes from the sheriff's department.

Regional Transportation Plan
I would like to add my voice to the overwhelming opposition to the Regional Transportation Plan for Hwy 93 between Golden and Boulder. As stated here many times, here are some of the reasons. Please vote NO to this plan. -The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) should vote AGAINST the proposed Jefferson Parkway toll road. -The Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority's plan would require taxpayers to SPEND $800 million to $1 billion in additional transportation improvements. -The toll road backers are NOT being truthful in their proposal to DRCOG. Toll road backers are using two (2) different proposals to tell two different stories. The proposal to DRCOG shows much LESS impact on traffic, and NO COST to taxpayers. DRCOG is not being given full and complete information. -This proposed toll road would worsen regional transportation funding and congestion. The Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority's own data shows that the project would dramatically increase traffic on S.H. 93 and other surrounding roads. -The resulting increased traffic on S.H. 93 would exacerbate already serious safety problems for drivers and bicyclists. S.H. 93's fatality rate is double the state average. -The City of Golden, the City of Boulder and Boulder County have prepared a better plan that would fix the congestion and safety issues on S.H. 93 and support transit and regional economic development.

Catching Up With
Jerry Bergonzi: Eternal Student
" Everybody is creative...A person can be creative in music, and another in fixing a car, another cooking food, dealing with children... Everybody is creative. "
The only element that speaks to time is his white hair, because his enthusiasm hasn't changed since recently deceased pianist Dave Brubeck hired him to tour with his quartet. Thirty years of success have passed since then: Bergonzi has played with the some of the most important jazz musicians on the international scene, has recorded nearly two hundred albums, and created his own teaching method.
Even Bergonzi considers himself a blue-blooded jazz saxophonist ; he loves to listen to classical music and can surprise by playing Bach's Inventions during a sound check. This jazz educator is constantly creating his own non-stop musical life. When he is not on the road, he teaches at New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, and when he is touring, he plays at the most important festivals he provides special master classes. He devotes his hotel nights to writing tunes because, he says, it is fun for him. He recently wrapped up a European tour with his inseparable bassist Dave Santoro and drummer Andrea Michelutti, in a new quartet that also features young pianist Carl Whinter. In Spain, the Jerry Bergonzi Quartet took part in Valencia's Jimmy Glass International Jazz Festival.
All About Jazz: You are known as one of the greatest jazz educators of the moment...
Jerry Bergonzi [Coughs] Oh, ok! [Laughs]
AAJ: And that's maybe because you are considered as a pedagogical innovator, what do you think?
JB: Well, you know, I always tell people that I am an eternal student; I'm always thinking in new things to practice, new things to play, and in new sounds that I hear. So that's maybe why people like to study with me, because we study together. I think music is the master and we all are the students.
AAJ: You are an eternal student, but do you feel any difference in learning new things now as opposed to when you were at the beginning of your career?
JB: I don't feel any different right now than when I was learning this music. The reason why people love this music is because it puts you in the present tense. You have all the experiences being here, spirituality, emotionally, mentally, physically. And all of them settle your body in the present tense; because of that. I now have the same feeling that when I did when I was learning. It doesn't matter how good you are: to be in the present, even if you are a beginner; it's the present tense.
AAJ: So forever young.
JB: [Laughs] Or forever old, whatever.
AAJ: You have created your own method in your Inside Improvisation series, and it looks like you have prepared the material you would like to have had when you started studying jazz.
JB: Yes, I would really have liked people to have shown me all these things that I teach, but I don't consider anything mine. I consider knowledge just part of the universe and nobody owns it. So everybody put it together and we all have a special function.
AAJ: You have developed a theory about improvisation, but you are all passion on a stage. When you are improvising it looks like you don't think about numbers and you just let yourself go with the music.
JB: [Smiles] Yeah, while I'm playing I'm not thinking. I am not in the conscious mind; I am in the creating mind, which is intuition. It's really quick, like lighting. But when I am in my practice room, then I think, "let's try this," then, "Let's try that," then "Let's try this." But when I'm on a bandstand or playing, I'm not like that at all; I try to be all heart.
AAJ: So your balance is not about the moment, it's about the conjugation between the practice time before, which is mental, and the "heart time" during your improvisations on a stage.
JB: Sure, practicing at home keeps my facility together; my interest together in learning tunes, rhythm, concepts. You know, I always think people are four elements: fire is spirit, water is emotion, air is intellect, and earth is grounded groove time. Everybody has all four but in different percentages, but when I hear people playing I can hear all those elements.
AAJ: Can creativity be taught?
JB: Yes, I think everything can be taught, creativity can be taught. Everybody is creative. People don't have the license to tell someone if he is creative or not. A person can be creative in music, and another in fixing a car, another cooking food, dealing with children... Everybody is creative.
AAJ: What has been your greatest jazz school?
JB: My best school has been listening. Listening to my favorite players. Listening, listening, listening. Transcribing. If I listen, I transcribe. So you learn things, you learn from the masters. You play your favorite players and that's school. School is Charlie Parker, school is John Coltrane, school is Wayne Shorter, school is Joe Henderson... Everybody has a voice, everybody is a star in the universe. So you have to find your voice and develop it.
AAJ: Dave Brubeck is always mentioned as one of your most important influences, and nobody talks about your special connection with drummer Elvin Jones.
JB: Brubeck was probably the most famous person who hired me, but he is not my passion. You know, I love Dave as a person but his music wasn't my direction. When I was young I went to the record shop and I always bought the records where Elvin Jones was on because they were the ones I really loved, it didn't matter who the leader was. I just loved those records. So yes, he has been the biggest influence on me.
AAJ: So you chose the earth element.
JB: Yes, yes! The groove element: earth, Earth Jones.
AAJ: Many critics have said that your latest album, Shifting Gears (Savant, 2012), is a look at the '60s.
JB: No. I know people say that, people that reviewed the album said that about the '60s. If, for them, it is a back to the '60s, fine. But to me I am in the present tense, I am developing music and playing some new conceptions there that we do and to me it's completely different. But if it is the way that somebody hears it that's ok too.
AAJ: So what, then, is Shifting Gears ?
JB: Shifting Gears is a lot of improvisation. There's a lot of improvisation that not only has the regular eighth and sixteenth notes, but different quintuplets, septuplets, and things like that; polyrhythms that go on in a linear line that, to me, has an impact on my music.
AAJ: Why did you choose trumpeter Phil Grenadier for the date?
JB: This is the first time in a long time that I did a record with another horn player, a trumpet player. And, maybe, in that way, it is going back to the '60s: a tenor and a trumpet in the frontline. Philip is a good friend of mine, we play gigs together all the time. He's a fantastic trumpet player, I love the way he plays. We really kind of vibrate in the same direction.
AAJ: And what's your future direction?
JB: I just think about the music and I say to myself, "Wow, we are going to play the drums right now," or the piano. Just to have fun. That keeps me in the present. I don't know why, but I love to do it and I can't imagine myself doing anything else.

From market highs to lows: Panic doesn't pay
Those who stayed the course fared substantially better than those who retreated.
- Fidelity Viewpoints
- – 05/24/2013
Market highs reached during the first quarter of 2013 boosted defined contribution (DC) plan balances—e.g., 401(k) and other workplace plans—to near record levels. As of March 31, 2013, the average DC account balance had reached $80,900, while the average balance among participants who have been actively employed with a balance in their DC plan throughout the past 10-year period hit $210,000 for the first time ever.
For many participants, such outcomes must have seemed difficult to imagine during the dramatic market downturn in late 2008. In fact, the financial crisis might have helped many Americans become more focused on their financial lives. A recent Fidelity survey showed that 56% of people who were "scared or confused" during the 2008 market downturn now feel "confident and prepared."1
So how has this market turnaround impacted retirement savings? Who has benefited from it? What can we learn from it? And what should we do next?
The S&P 500 closed at 677 on March 9, 2009, the market bottom, increasing to 1,569 on March 31, 2013.2
Through detailed analysis of more than 12 million DC retirement accounts, Fidelity Investments attempts to answer these and other questions while providing you with steps that can help keep you on track.
Recovery for preretirees.
Many preretirees, particularly those who were age 55 and older, were vulnerable to setbacks during the market decline. And yet, many of them saw their balances recover. For employed preretirees who have invested continuously over the previous 10-year period, average balances over the past five years increased from $169,100 at the end of the first quarter of 2008 to $255,000 on March 31, 2013, a 51% increase. Fifty-seven percent of that increase was due to market action, while the remaining 43% was due to net contributions (participant and employer contributions, less any withdrawals). For this set of 10-year continuous preretirees, the average employee contribution (excluding the employer portion) per contributing participant was $9,630 for the 12 months through the first quarter (Q1) of 2013, up from $8,410 for the 12 months through Q1 2008.
While preretirees overall have recovered well since the financial crisis, younger participants who could afford to have higher equity exposures reaped even larger increases in balances. For 10-year continuous Gen-Y3 participants, the average balance increased 145% between Q1 2008 and Q1 2013. For Gen-X4 participants, this increase was 97%.
Younger participants stand to learn a lot, however, from the market fluctuation of the past five years and how preretirees approached the situation. No one can predict what the market will do in the future, but remaining "in the game," continuing to invest in line with their expected retirement date, having a solid plan in place, and setting goals can help all participants prepare for potential unexpected future market movements.
Timing the market doesn't pay.
Although it may be tempting to actively alter your investments in an attempt to avoid loss in anticipation of market lows, historical data show that such efforts tend to backfire. The figure below compares average account balance growth among three participant groups: Those who changed their asset allocations to 0% equity in the Q4 of 2008 or Q1 of 2009 and never returned, those who moved to 0% equity but returned to some portion of equities by the end of Q1 2013, and those who maintained an equity allocation throughout the period.
As the figure above shows, the differences in growth are remarkable. The takeaway: Those who stayed the course fared substantially better than those who retreated altogether or tried to time the market. Fortunately, only a very small portion (1%) of Q3 2008 to Q1 2013 continuous participants who had equity holdings as of Q3 2008 got out of them completely and failed to return to them. For this group, however, the impact on account balance growth during the past five years has been significant: As of Q1 2013, their growth was 14.7%, compared with 88.4% for those who stayed the course.
Being in it for the long haul
While the only predictable thing about market behavior is its unpredictability, history has shown repeatedly that continued plan contribution and diversified, age-based asset allocation has delivered better results over time. Below are some guidance tips on how to optimize your retirement savings, based on analysis by Fidelity Investments of the market's historical performance:
- Diversification. A diversified portfolio with a well-balanced mix of stocks, bonds, and shorter-term investments is likely—over at least a full market cycle—to provide a superior outcome than a portfolio that is biased heavily toward one or two asset classes. Use Fidelity resources such as Portfolio Review and Retirement Quick Check to help you determine whether you're on track.
- Stability. During turbulent times, a steady course is most often the best one. A reactionary approach, including a focus on short-term market activity and related attempts to time the market, typically leads to poorer outcomes in the long term.
- All-in-one strategy approach. If you are uneasy about investing, consider the approach of age-based target date funds, or consider managed accounts, which may be a good option for participants who are uncertain about investing.
- Guidance. Participants don't have to go it alone. Professional guidance can help minimize some of the historical behaviors that investors tend to have, not only regarding asset allocation but for retirement planning as a whole. Better retirement decisions are made within the broader context of planning for all life's goals.
By taking a long-term approach to investing and considering the importance of full retirement plan participation and age-based asset allocation, investors can have a solid plan for retirement. Ultimately, Fidelity believes that the key to success amid market volatility is participation, not panic.

Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. Hope that you are having a great summer in Utah and that there are no more fires. Your new buddy, Warren :o)
Noticed your post regarding the closing of electric power plants. Yes, it doesn't make sense. We need to be building more gas fired power plants and be modernizing the distribution grid. Great looking avatar picture. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Just being realistic
True but it is still a long way off.
Melven, alot dreams have come the pipe that way. Think positive thoughts.

Hontana State Democratic Convention -- June 27, 1956
The main purpose of this r,atherine here in Helena is primarily
a convention to draw up 8 platform to vlin with in November. It
is also necessary to give some thought to the party ' s record .
Tocay, I want ~o talk about the p~rty's record , nore specifically
the record of the 84th Coneress. I feel that it is a good
First of all, I \lant to talk about tiUIPAr•~; the
accomplishmP.nts ana the failures of the 8l;..th Congress ,
particularly as they affect the State of Montaqa . The 84th
Congress was good to the people of Montana . There wer0 disappointments
ana defeats , c.r.d we had our ups and downs.
In the p&st two years Conrress has made considerable progress
in behalf of America's working men and women . In ,July
of 19~5, the Democratic 84th Congress raised the minimum wage
from 7) cents to one dollar an hour . The Democrats have long
recognized the need !or this increase beccuse 8 million American
families still bave incomes below •2 ,000 a year as established
by a June 1956 survey. This is the first increase in the
minimum wage since 1949, a victory for the low-income families
won over the opposition of President Eisenhower.
The Social Security program was liberalized to provide
benefits to women beginning at age 62 and to disabled per nons
at age 50 , instead of 65 , extendin~ coverage to a number of
professi onal groups , as well as increasing grants to states
for aid to needy , blind and to dependent children . This was
the first major change jn the program since it was establisred .
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

One of the greatest achieve ents of this p st session was
the nact ent of a 33 .4 billion High,ay Bill authorizing the
construction of a 13-year highway constn1ction program. This
ncu pro r will be of considerable assistance in i mproving
nd buildinr the int-rst·lte highway system in Montana, under
th. new Ffderal 90 percent share of the cost ratio on the
compl tjon of tho 41,000-mil<: inter~tate syztem . In &rldition
this no\1 prorrar.1 increase" rcvulor flid for State hip,h,~ays
throuch 1959.
As many of you here tooay now, an d'itional 1 ,00 miles
cr added to the total interstate hirhway mileag1. . The distinguished
"'eniol7 senator from our great state, .Jim Murray and t c
very able representative from f ontana•s 1st District , Lee f!etcalf
and I introduced legislation to brin U. S. Hichway #2 i~to
the inter ~·te syste~. The additional mileage added to the
pro ram \muld have ta'erated for the first full year in fiscal
year 1957.
Public Law 685 of the 84th Congress will mean a great
ceal to many areas of the State . This new law amends the small
projects authority of the 1950 Flood Control Act , by raising

th li itation on F deral expenditure for smnll flood control
proje ts fro 150 ,000 to 400 ,000 . The floo control project
t e t Gl dive i~ one of th r·r t small proj cts to be~efit
fro thj s n law. This will llo" the .rmy ... n in crs to
proceed with the construction of the West Glendive flood control
p..roject , wEf" ving the requirement for J ocal contribution of all
constru tion costs over and above the former Federal cost limitation
of 150,000 . This will save the 1 e"t Glendive folks
apnroximately 15 ,000 to 20 ,000 . It is my hone that other
flood control projects in the ~t.te will benefit fro tl is
new provision , relievir. local int re ts of cxr.essive construction
costs .
In this age of atomic and hydrorcn bombs ·nd weanons, and
s tpersonic aircraft , the c:tate of t'ontana is be ·omine; increasingly
import~nt in its strategic oosition alone the northern
frontier and because of Montana's reat resources and industrial
potential . ]11ontana has t. WO of the Nc...tion t s rrreatest bas"Ci0:1S of
defense , the Malmstrom Air Base at Greats Falls , an important
link in the Strate~ic Air Command and the new Air Defense
Command base at Glasgow, no\"r under construction . It is tre
duty of Con ress to see thDt these bases receive adequate
funds to excel erate construction and to maintain these air
bases with adequate operating and personnel facilities . A
Democratic Congress has assured these thin~s durin the past
t ro years ana will 'Ontinue to do so in the years to cone .

increase in funas for these facilities . Miss1on 66 includes

1957 the all-important state and orivate forestry coonerat~on
programs of the National Forest . arvice will be greatly expanded
with increased aonropriatio.•s . These programs are
extremely important to the farmers and ranchers of the State .
Another new prorram which the Democratic Congress enacted
was the rural Library Services Ac~ . Montana libraries in
communities with less t~an 10 ,000 population will share in

authorization assurinr telephone and electric coop ratives
the right to serve SAG air defense installations in their
area . On Occasion some cooperatives were being byp ssed even
though they could co the dob more cheaply than private utilities.
The adopted amendment forbids the construction of duplicating
lines . According to estimates this and otler provisions of
the new military construction law will result in savings to
the taxpayers of t830 million . Senator Murray , Lee ?~etcalf
and I are pleased to add that this economizing legislation
was initiated by representatives of two Montana cooper tives ,
the Mid-Rivers Teleptone Cooperativ~ ~~ with headquarters at
Circle and the Sheridan County Electric Cooperative with
headquarters at Medicine Lake .
One of the major accomplishments of the past year was the
issuance of the executive decision to rescind the order to
transform the 96th Infantry Reserve Division into a maneuver
area command . Reservists of Montana , Idaho, Utah and Arizona
have now been assured that the 96th Division will be maintained
at its full and active strength . An unfavorable decision
would have doomed the entire Army Reserve program in }~ontana ,
particularly the reserve armory construction program which has
progressed so well in the past several months . The Department
of the Army has aoproved Army Reserve Traininr Center sites at
Billines , Bozeman , Butte , Glasgov , Great Falls , Havre , Livingston
and Polson . These designations are for planninr nurooses

Over the past several years I have become cxtre~ely concerned
over the \',elfare of Au1erica ' s first citizens, the
Indians . The deplorable and unfortun te conditions w ich
exist amone c-ome of the Indian reservatior:s <·Il,d Qt.ttl~t:Jcrts
(.l "- ('<-'-V2-l:.c-w-~ (
in the State such as Hill 57 j n i'reat F:;1l '}f In tr i~ c .... c of
great social progress the economy and wel. :e of our IndiP.n populace
h.~ f allen behind, they have not prorressed ~ith the
vast majority of our society . nontana ' d Democratic deleration
has been persistent in its search for assistance for these
p€ople, however the Bur~au of Indian Aff irs has been firm
in its denial of additional aid to the destitute Indians in
ortana, responsibility that rightfully rests upon the shoulders
of the Federal Government . It \"IllS unfortunate that legis:t:ation
providing for relief of depressed areas, indluding Indian tribes ,
did not pttss before ~o.journment of Con .·ress . However, Conr ress
did enact legislation providing for vocational training for
Indians between the ages of lS and 35 to heln them obtain
t::!rr.ployf"det . We Dexnocra ts should not re t until we can nrovide
a butter existence for our Indians.
I think that you will agree that the record of the Democratic
84th Con ress is good , but again I say there were disappointments .
The greatest disapnointments were in the areas of army economy
nd develop~ent of natural resources .

Between 1954 and 1955, United States f r er exporicn d
the sharpe t , 11 percent declin~, in take-ho e pay in any single
ye r in histor·y, except 1921. • oreover , f rm income in the
first thr e mont s of 1956 ran 10 percent lower than the same
months of 1955 . Statistical data indicates that the plight
of the farmer has lessened slightly in the pa3t several months,
but I doubt that the farmers in drought stricken eastern
r~ontana will be claiming any rreat increase in their prosnerity
this year .
When the President vetoec the farm ill this ye .... r which
would }eve restored 90 percent price supports , lis action cost
the f rmers ) .1 billion.
The Administr-ation t.akes a great deal of credit for the
soil bank , but they have conveniently overloo.ed the fact that
in 1955 the Administration opposed soil bank legislation introduced
by the members of the Democratic Party.
The 1955 farm income fell 1 billion according to a
Department of Agriculture report made earlier this year. At
the same time the income of the non-fam seement of the Nation's
economy was risine above 1954 levels.
The Department said the income of the Nation's farm
population , from all so·lrces last year totaled a little moYe
than 19 billion for an individual everage of 860 . This
compared with just under 20 billion received in 1954 for an
individual averaee of 913.

The nonfarm ponula ion \'las said to have recoi ved a total
inco e of 275 billion last year for an individu 1 average of
1,922--more than aouble the farm avera e . The previous year
the nonfarm total 1tras 258 billion for an individual averoe;e
of 1,837.
These figures plainly srow t-..1at the individu 1 income of
nonfarm people rose approximately S5 , while the individual
farmer's income cropped approximately ~53 .
In the miast of widespread orosperi ty ''~hich we hear so
much about , farm families are havin~ forced upon them the
heavy hand of poverty . While farmers total net income is way
down, corporation profits continue to go up as do dividenas
and interest .
Despite the determined opposition of tre Secretary of
Acriculturc and the Renublican Administration the Democratic
84th Congress did rr.ar.age to enact a number of bills benefieial
to the farw. populace . I am proud to say that Senator Murray,
Lee Metcalf anc I fought for t} ese measures v1hich would bring
some assistance to the American farmer .
The Sugnr Act ,., s amended and extended until 1960 , allow-ing
the domestic producers of beets nnd surar cane a more equitable
share of increased market demands . The excise tax on
gasoline and oil used only in farm machinerywas removed .
The Farm Credit Act of 1956 liberalized terms of farm
loans , authorizing for the first time aid to part time and
low-income farmers under Bankhead- Jones Farm Tenant Act . The

The United States has a warvelous system of preservation

Under the present administration wil l jfe refuges rave
been exploited . For instance , five times as many oil leases
on wildl ife r efuges have been granted in 2 years as had been
granted in the previous 33 years . In brief the nation's fiah

The Administration has failed to make any new start3 on
multi-purpose power projects . It would apDear they are dragi ng

p;iven by the Department of the I!lterior to Lee Metcalf' s fine
recorr~endation th·t a means to yet this project rolli e would
be the construction of a low Libby Dam as p1~eliminary to the
construction of the authorized hi~ dam ·hen the international
~egotiations are settled.
The most grievous defeat for ::.he peonle of t-~ontana during
this session was the Presidential veto of the resolution whi.ch
would have aut~orized payment of 5 million to the Crow Indians
for Yellowtail Dam land and right- of-way , and thus cleared away

Zerotracer takes out inaugural round the world Zero Emissions Race
By Darren Quick
February 27, 2011
It may have taken a little longer than expected, but last week the inaugural Zero Race finally wound up with the three remaining competitors returning to the United Nations Palace in Geneva, Switzerland where the race got underway in August last year. After 80 driving days, which saw the 100 percent electric vehicles travel some 28,000 km (17,398 miles) across 16 countries through freezing temperatures, snow, rain and heat, Team Oerikon Solar's Zerotracer was the first to cross the finish line, followed by Team Vectrix in second place and Team Trev in third.
Being first across the finish line on February 24, 2011, wasn't the only factor for picking a winner. The Zero Race was actually decided on a points system that took into account a number of additional criteria including range, reliability and safety of the vehicles. The teams were also given tasks to accomplish during the race and the Oerikon Solar Racing Team's good results on these tasks early on helped the Zerotracer move quickly into one of the leading positions.
"It is great that our team was able to win this very demanding race. This shows that emission-free mobility solutions are useful for everyday life even in adverse conditions. The Zerotracer is a real milestone on the path to use solar energy as a form of fuel in an economically viable manner and thus to create a real alternative for the mobile world of tomorrow," said Helmut Frankenberger, the CEO of Oerlikon Solar.
Having completed a round the world trip in 80 (driving) days, the next Zero Emissions Race is now being planned with a route beginning in Venice that will take competitors through 10 European countries before finishing in Vienna two weeks later. All EVs with a range of 150 km (93 miles) at 80 km/h (50 mph) are welcome for the race which will run from September 3 to 25, 2011. More details will be forthcoming at the Zero Emissions Race website.
Congratulations to a truly unique vehicle, be it electric or gas-driven!!! Now, I just wish I could afford one!Will, the tink

Deco Glam Save the Date Magnets Really love our save the dates. For colors, I did a green background and a light yellow lettering. In the smaller text, there was a bit of bleeding (blue). This is minor but if you are going to do anything similar, you may want to bold, or increase the font of the location. Also, last names and the words "save the date" are not on the sample. I didn't really think about this ahead of time, but I figure our guests can figure it out. If you are inviting more extended guests, you may want to include that to avoid any confusion.
